Context

How this service works in Thurgau in practice.

Thurgau comes with its own framework conditions – from incentives and tax treatment to technical requirements. From those, a cleanly managed project flow for your property takes shape.

01Service focus

What really matters for installation on site

People looking for PV installation in Canton Thurgau compare more than modules. They compare execution quality, roof protection and coordination. Exactly these points decide on a clean result before quoting and installation. Mounting structure per SIA 261, documented penetrations, SUVA-compliant fall protection and complete handover including string diagram, measurement protocol and photo documentation.

Mounting structure matched to tile, sheet metal, facade or flat-roof systems – not generic, but dimensioned object-specifically to wind zone (SIA 261), snow loads and building height.
Clean cable routing with documented penetrations and roof membrane protection. Every transition between roof and electrical installation is photographed and recorded.
Coordination of scaffolding, fall protection (SUVA-compliant), installation logistics and object-specific safety requirements – including a mounting concept prior to material ordering.
Photo documentation and traceable handover: single-line diagram, string plan, data sheets, measurement protocol, photos – everything needed for acceptance, grid operator and future service.

02Regional framework

Why this canton shifts the priorities

The "Mostindien" canton offers abundant roof space on agricultural buildings and fruit storage halls – ideal for large PV systems. Thurplus compensates on a market basis with quarterly BFE reference pricing. The Solarstrom-Pool Thurgau (since 1999, 800+ systems, 16 MW) supports steeply mounted systems with CHF 200/kWp (≥75°). The Lake Constance region benefits from mild climate and above-average sunshine duration. Thurgau: Swiss paradigm shift — first canton to subsidize ONLY facade systems (from April 2025). This signals the shift from roof to facade in the PV industry. Solar map immediately shows every owner their status. Solar power pool: 25 years of experience.

In Canton Thurgau, roof type, access and cable routing need to be clarified early so installation does not turn into change orders.
Owners compare execution quality, roof protection and clear ownership more than simple price promises.
Site logic directly affects timing, appearance and future maintenance.

03Project logic

How roof, installation and electrical work fit together

The Canton of Thurgau allows full tax deduction for PV investments as property maintenance. Deductions can be spread over two consecutive tax periods if needed. Mounting structure and scaffolding planned around roof type and access.

Aligned workflow between installation, electrical work and commissioning.

Regional context

PV Installation in Thurgau: what matters here

In Canton Thurgau, cantonal rules, the responsible grid operator and local permit procedures shape how a project is planned and delivered. The points below show what really matters before quoting, installation and handover.

Regional starting point

In Canton Thurgau, incentives, grid operators and permit procedures change the priorities for this service.

Service core

Installation quality is decided before site work starts: roof access, mounting structure, cable routing and fall protection need to be planned together.

Grid & registration

For Canton Thurgau, grid operators such as Thurplus, metering concept and commissioning are aligned early.

Decision reason

In Canton Thurgau, roof type, access and cable routing need to be clarified early so installation does not turn into change orders.

Execution

Mounting structure and scaffolding planned around roof type and access.

Economic frame

Feed-in tariff and self-consumption are matched to the property; in the canton, 12.6 Rp./kWh (Thurplus) is one relevant reference point.

Cantonal framework

Which cantonal framework shapes the project in Thurgau.

The technical service stays the same, but the project frame changes with the canton. That is exactly where incentives, tax treatment and MuKEn requirements become strategically relevant.

Local context

Thurgau sets the economic pace for this service.

The "Mostindien" canton offers plenty of roof space on agricultural buildings and fruit storage halls – ideal for large PV systems. The Lake Constance region also benefits from a mild climate and above-average sunshine hours.

Tax and subsidy logic

The Canton of Thurgau allows full tax deduction for PV investments as property maintenance. Deductions can be spread over two consecutive tax periods if needed. Facade-exclusive from April 2025: CHF 200/kWp subsidy ONLY for facade systems (max CHF 10,000). Roof systems: no more cantonal subsidy. Swiss first! Solar power pool: 25 years of history, 800+ systems, 16 MW capacity.

Permits and energy law

Interactive solar map: for every building the map shows whether notification or building permit is needed (Green = notification, Orange = permit, Red ISOS = strict review). Facade systems: own rules. Roof systems: standard notification procedure. Thurgau implements energy regulations pragmatically and has adopted parts of MuKEn 2014 into its cantonal energy law. New buildings have self-generation requirements – PV systems are the preferred solution.

Market signal and location

Thurgau: Swiss paradigm shift — first canton to subsidize ONLY facade systems (from April 2025). This signals the shift from roof to facade in the PV industry. Solar map immediately shows every owner their status. Solar power pool: 25 years of experience. Thurgau uses proceeds from the CO2 fund for subsidies for energy renovations and PV systems. The Pronovo one-time payment is supplemented by cantonal contributions. EKT (cantonal electricity utility) also offers feed-in tariffs.
